Hiding and seek

is there any better way to hide text than this?

.hide {
position: absolute;
left: -9000px;
}

i found this on an accacibility website, sugesting you should provide headings for everything, including navigation, and any headdings you dont want showing, just apply the above class? it seams a bit clunky to me though

how about

.hide
{
display:none;
}
